Artemas Diamandis (Greek: Αρτέμας Διαμαντής; born 23 September 1999), known professionally as Artemas, is an English singer, songwriter and record producer. He is best known for his singles "If U Think I'm Pretty" and the viral "I Like the Way You Kiss Me".

Early life and Personal life

Born in 23 September 1999, Diamandis grew up in a village in Oxfordshire, England and is of Greek Cypriot descent from his father's side. He got piano lessons at six years old and developed an interest in singing from an early age. Watching a documentary about Kurt Cobain titled Kurt Cobain: Montage of Heck at the age of sixteen inspired him to begin writing songs. Diamandis taught himself to play instruments and produce, and begun experimenting with music styles. He later moved to London in order to further his music career.

He is currently in a relationship with American singer Nessa Barrett.

Career

At age seventeen, Diamandis made his first so-called "very bad rock song" that was played on local radio.

Diamandis' first music release was the single "High 4 U" in November 2020. In 2022, he released the mixtape I'm Sorry I'm Like This, which remains available on Bandcamp. The same year his sound was compared to that of Rex Orange County "with a hint of R&B". On 24 October 2023, Diamandis released the single "If U Think I'm Pretty" which went viral shortly after. By 2024, the song reached the charts in the UK and other European countries as well as in Canada and Australia. The single would lead into the release of his debut mixtape Pretty on February 2024.

On 19 March 2024, he released the single "I Like the Way You Kiss Me" which reached number one in Austria, Belgium (Flanders), Germany, Poland, Sweden, Switzerland, Latvia and Lithuania, number three in the UK, number twelve in the US, and peaked within the top ten of the charts in various other countries including Australia, New Zealand, Ireland, and Norway. Variety described it as one of the "most ubiquitous songs of 2024". The single led to the release of his sophomore mixtape Yustyna on July 2024.
